This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled qlcnic: prevent ->dcb use-after-free on qlcnic_dcb_enable() failure to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: qlcnic-prevent-dcb-use-after-free-on-qlcnic_dcb_enab.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit cec73bb81bf3534b075582b5e336bf854e379150 Author: Daniil Tatianin <d-tatianin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 22 14:52:28 2022 +0300 qlcnic: prevent ->dcb use-after-free on qlcnic_dcb_enable() failure [ Upstream commit 13a7c8964afcd8ca43c0b6001ebb0127baa95362 ] adapter->dcb would get silently freed inside qlcnic_dcb_enable() in case qlcnic_dcb_attach() would return an error, which always happens under OOM conditions. This would lead to use-after-free because both of the existing callers invoke qlcnic_dcb_get_info() on the obtained pointer, which is potentially freed at that point. Propagate errors from qlcnic_dcb_enable(), and instead free the dcb pointer at callsite using qlcnic_dcb_free(). This also removes the now unused qlcnic_clear_dcb_ops() helper, which was a simple wrapper around kfree() also causing memory leaks for partially initialized dcb.
